[Verse 1] I hear the songs beyond the trees I see the fires start to burn Again they sing Again they laugh Like ghosts that never learn They rise above the ashes No matter what the darkness sends I need to crush their spirit now Tonight this finally ends [Chorus] Why do they tempt the night? What comfort do they find? Why do they feed the fire That burns inside my mind? Why do they tempt the night? Why beckon me to fight? I'll show them one last time Why they should not tempt the night [Verse 2] How many times must this be done? How many nights must end the same? I'll crush this hall Once and for all And stop this endless game Do they believe I've disappeared? Or simply grown too old to fight? I'll let them celebrate for now Then I'll see them all tonight [Chorus] Why do they tempt the night? What comfort do they find? Why do they feed the fire That burns inside my mind? Why do they tempt the night? Why beckon me to fight? I'll show them one last time Why they should not tempt the night [Verse 3] The marsh gave way to ancient oak The forest opened to the light The hall stood out against the dark A beacon in the endless night They think it's their salvation But all they'll find is fear Another feast Another song But now the end is near [Chorus] Why do they tempt the night? What comfort do they find? Why do they feed the fire That burns inside my mind? Why do they tempt the night? Why beckon me to fight? I'll show them one last time Why they should not tempt the night [Bridge] The lights return The songs return The hope returns Again The night returns The fear returns And I return Again [Chorus] Why do they tempt the night? What comfort do they find? Why do they feed the fire That burns inside my mind? Why do they tempt the night? Why beckon me to fight? I'll show them one last time Why they should not tempt the night [Chorus] Why do they tempt the night? What comfort do they find? Why do they feed the fire That burns inside my mind? Why do they tempt the night? Why beckon me to fight? I'll show them one last time Why they should not tempt the night Why they should not tempt the night Why they should not tempt the night Why they should not tempt the night
